# gmatcha

> gmatcha (https://gmatcha.com) helps you speedrun writing your daily standup update. The web app keeps all data in the browser's localStorage — no accounts, nothing stored server-side.

## Standup formatter API

Deterministic formatter for standup updates: send structured sections as JSON, get back paste-ready markdown for Slack. No auth, no storage — content is formatted, returned, and forgotten.

- Endpoint: POST https://gmatcha.com/api/standup
- Content-Type: application/json
- Docs: GET https://gmatcha.com/api/standup returns machine-readable usage docs

Request body:

- sections: array of section objects, each with:
  - header: string section title (e.g. "Yesterday", "Today", "Blockers")
  - format: optional markdown style for the header — "none" | "bold" | "##" | "###" (default "none")
  - bullets: optional array of strings, rendered as "- item" lines
  - text: optional preformatted string body, used when bullets are not provided
- wrapInCodeBlock: optional boolean — wraps the result in a ``` code block so the markdown pastes literally into Slack (default false)

Response: { "markdown": "...", "url": "https://gmatcha.com/?standup=..." }

The "url" field is a clickable link that opens gmatcha with the standup pre-filled in the web editor (the editor loads the first three sections), so the user can keep editing it in the UI. It is omitted for very large payloads.

Sections with no bullets and no text are omitted from the output.

Example:

curl -s https://gmatcha.com/api/standup \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"sections":[{"header":"Yesterday","bullets":["shipped the release"]},{"header":"Today","bullets":["code review"]},{"header":"Blockers","bullets":[]}]}'

## Using from an AI agent (e.g. Claude Code)

Summarize the user's work into short bullet points, POST them to https://gmatcha.com/api/standup with sections like "Yesterday" / "Today" / "Blockers", and return the "markdown" field from the response so the user can paste it to their team. Also share the "url" field so they can open the standup in the gmatcha web editor and tweak it there.
